I'm searching for Mail Order Knit or Cochet patterns not in my collection? Do you have any tucked away that you'd be willing to trade? I'm trying to build a master collection, which currently does not exist and your help would be most appreciated. (vintageknitcrochet@gmail.com)

This crocheted pattern section contains all things bags - be they crochet purses, totes, clutches, fanny packs, etc. These, as is everything else, are vintage patterns, mostly ranging from the 1930's to the early 1960's. Although styles have significantly changed since that time, there are some grand and classic surprises in here. And, who knows, you might just crochet yourself a very pleasing bag that is just a step away from the newest hot trend. What was old, as we all know, becomes new again.
